We've all seen environmental messages... posters, signs, TV ads and billboards reminding us to recycle, not litter, or turn off lights when we leave the room.
As part of our study on how public opinion can make a difference in policy and practice, our AP Environmental Science class is going to make a poster with a message about an endangered species in the Chesapeake Bay ecosystem: the Delmarva Fox Squirrel. This critter has one big advantage: it's cute and fuzzy, so people will care about it!

We're going to pilot four different versions of a "Save the Delmarva Fox Squirrels" poster, with four different message themes. Take the polls (on the right) and let us know which theme you think will be most effective!
Leave a comment: (1) What is YOUR favorite of the four themes? (2) For your chosen theme: suggest a statement or message for the poster!

I like the Environmental Concern message theme.
For this theme, we could have a photo of the squirrel's natural habitat (woods) on one side of the poster, and a photo of a mall on the other... with text saying something like "Squirrels can't buy their lunch at the food court."
What do you guys think?
i like the humanistic or family related messge theme.
for this theme, we could put picures of a squirrel family and a picture of a persons family.
My favorite of the four themes is "Humanistic or family-related". I would use the statement... "Blood is thicker than water."
In my opinion the theme " Biospheric" is the best. I feel I can relate more to that.
I believe the "Humanistic or family-related' would be the best alternative. It would allow the people to realize how saimilar they are to the Delmarva Fox Squirrel.
